The Effect Of Medium Fidelity Simulation On Perceived Competence Level Of Novice Nursing Students, Tracy D. Arnold Jan 2012

The Effect Of Medium Fidelity Simulation On Perceived Competence Level Of Novice Nursing Students, Tracy D. Arnold

Nursing Theses and Capstone Projects

This Capstone Project examined the effect of medium fidelity simulation on perceived competence level of novice nursing students. A convenience sample of 56 second-year associate degree nursing students enrolled in an Adult Medical-Surgical II nursing course and experiential laboratory course participated in this project. Students were divided into two separate groups based on course schedules: 27 students participated in the traditional laboratory experience, and 29 students participated in the instructor guided Mock Code simulation-based learning experience. Descriptive statistics were used to determine the overall mean of all student responses to each question on an altered version of the Perceived Competence …


The Effects Of A High Fidelity Simulation Experience On Students' Knowledge, Starla H. Logan Jan 2012

The Effects Of A High Fidelity Simulation Experience On Students' Knowledge, Starla H. Logan

Nursing Theses and Capstone Projects

The purpose of this study was to identify and examine the effects of high-fidelity simulation on the knowledge of second semester associate degree nursing students at a small community college. The research question addressed was: Does high-fidelity simulation increase the knowledge level of second semester ADN students. Researcher developed pre and post tests were used to measure the effects of the simulation on the students' knowledge level. The data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences, Version 19. Findings revealed a significant difference between the scores of the pre-test and the scores of the post-tests. The results of …


Second-Year Associate Degree Nursing (Adn) Self-Efficacy In Relation To Simulation Lab Experiences, Sarah W. Tate Jan 2012

Second-Year Associate Degree Nursing (Adn) Self-Efficacy In Relation To Simulation Lab Experiences, Sarah W. Tate

Nursing Theses and Capstone Projects

Second-Year Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) Self-Efficacy in Relation to Simulation Lab Experiences utilized a convenience sample of second-year associate degree nursing students to conduct a survey of their perceptions of an increase in self-efficacy or self confidence in relation to their simulation lab experiences. Albert Bandura's theory of self-efficacy was the theoretical framework for the study. Students who have high levels of self-efficacy have been shown to handle obstacles with less stress, perseverance, and success. In this study, 85% of the students agreed that simulation lab experiences were beneficial in increasing their confidence to perform safely in their preceptorship and …
